INT 95 - About me



Written by Mitchell Raab

I’m Mitchell. I like a wide variety of things and consider myself to be very open minded. I enjoy meditation and talking about trippy things like space, physics, and new/theoretical technologies, but most of all I enjoy learning new things. I sort of operate by a philosophy that it’s impossible to truly know something if you’ve never personally experienced it. I always try to remove my bias from my decisions so that I can explore many different viewpoints. I have an overall goal in my life to do the greatest good I can with the resources that are available to me. This goal has led me to peruse a deep knowledge of biochemistry and nano-technologies, because I hope to help develop cheap, organic medicines. To elaborate, I want to create a drug capsule that replicates itself like life by doesn’t undergo evolution. This way drugs could be manufactured within the cells of a human, and one dose would last indefinitely; it could eliminate addiction, overdoses, and the high cost of constantly buying more medicine. I know my plans are possibly impossible for me to do, but if I shoot for the stars and don’t make it at least I’ll be flying high. I also enjoy playing sports, but I don’t follow any professional sports. I don’t watch much TV, but when I do it’s usually news or documentary style programs. I have done well academically, but my academics are just a portion of my life; I also like to have fun.
